FULL-STACK ENGINEER·AVAILABLE FOR WORK

Backends, real-time systems & AI pipelines — shipped end to end.

I build production backends, AI-powered pipelines, and real-time interfaces across Node.js, Spring Boot and Next.js. Currently a software engineer intern at Cisco working on memory safety in NX-OS, and a B.Tech student at BITS Pilani Goa, with shipped systems from two founding-engineer startup roles.

EXPERIENCE
May – Jul 2026
Software Engineer Intern — Cisco
C · C++ · NX-OS · Linux Shell · GDB
  • Triaged 100+ ACLQoS memory-safety findings across NX-OS server and libapi components, confirming ~60% as genuine leaks and clearing the rest as false positives or init-order issues.
  • Collapsed a 10-step manual repro into a single triggered workflow that built binaries, staged them on Nexus line cards, and validated on live switches; applied to 60%+ of confirmed bugs.
  • Fixed cleanup defects in destination allocation and parse-context lifecycle handling, verifying leak behavior with GDB and heap analysis.
Sep 2025 – Mar 2026
Founding Software Engineer Intern — GetInStartups
Next.js · Express · Supabase · AWS S3 · Redis · Azure
  • Onboarded 200+ companies and 1,500+ candidates onto a multi-portal job marketplace: 4 Next.js apps on a shared Express REST API with 46 endpoints and JWT-based RBAC across 3 roles.
  • Cut resume access to sub-200ms for 500+ stored files by replacing server-side proxying with direct S3 presigned uploads.
  • Shipped 5 containerized services through GitHub Actions CI/CD into Azure App Service, hardened with Key Vault secrets, rate-limited auth, Redis caching, and Sentry monitoring.
Oct 2024 – Apr 2025
Founding Software Engineer Intern — Jiffy
Flutter · Riverpod · Firebase · FastAPI · OpenAI · Pinecone
  • Cut P95 match-fetch latency from ~2s to sub-100ms across 30K+ vectors using 1536-dimension embeddings in Pinecone and pre-computed suggestion sets.
  • Architected a 28-screen Flutter app with 35 code-generated Riverpod StateNotifiers and GoRouter across 29 auth-guarded routes.
  • Built token-level SSE streaming chat synchronized against Firestore listeners over a 5-layer Dio interceptor chain.
May 2025 – May 2026
Chief Coordinator — Developers' Society, BITS Goa
Leadership · 4 verticals
  • Led 50+ developers across App & Web, Game Dev, AI/ML and UI/UX, owning core repositories and review standards across handovers.
ABOUT

I'm in my final years of a B.Tech in Electronics and Instrumentation at BITS Pilani, Goa. I work across the whole stack — React and Next.js interfaces, the APIs behind them, and the schema, caching and deploy pipelines underneath.

Outside of internships I led the Developers' Society at BITS Goa — 50+ developers across four verticals, and an in-house campus payment system that processed ₹1.2 Cr+ across three fests.
